Interface Inheritance Clarification

Hi,

I believe a clarification is waranted within part 1: core language re: 
interface inheritance.

The following sentence appears to imply that an interface inherits faults 
and operations from interfaces defined within the extends attribute AND from 
interfaces extended indirectly, i.e. interfaces defined within the extends 
attribute of extended interfaces, etc ...

"To avoid circular definitions, an interface MUST NOT appear as an element 
of the set of interfaces it extends, either directly or indirectly."

The next sentence, however, seems to imply that an interface inherits 
content only from the interfaces listed within its extends attribute:

"The set of operations available in an interface includes all the operations 
defined by the interfaces it extends, along with any operations it directly 
defines. "

If the first supposition is correct, then what is the use case for being 
able to list more than one extended interface within the extends attribute?

Please advise.  Thanks.
